Medeco®
mortise cylinders have threads on the outside of the shell
and are designed to be screwed into other manufacturer's
mortise lock cases. A cam on the back of the cylinder operates
the lock mechanism and a set screw holds the mortise cylinder
in place. Medeco rim cylinders are used with auxiliary rim
locks such as: surface mounted deadbolts, night latches,
panic devices and jimmyproof locks (also know as vertical
dropbolts or interlocking deadbolts).
Rim cylinders are held in place with a back plate and two
mounting screws.
10 series, rim and mortise cylinders, are UL437 listed
for drill and pick resistance, and the those that incorporate
the Biaxial® design, offer utility patented key control.
Features & Benefits:
- Large variety of cylinder lengths and cam/tailpiece
configurations provide excellent retrofit capability and
reduce the need to replace the entire locking device.
- Utility patented key control, (for cylinders that incorporate
the Medeco3 design), provides protection against the unauthorized
duplication of keys.
- A special elevating and rotating pin tumbler design,
along with false slots on the bottom pins, mushroom top
pins and a sidebar mechanism, work together, to provide
superior pick resistance.
- Angled cuts on the keys, along with fore and aft positioning,
and the reciprocal slider of the Medeco3 design, provide
added dimensions that dramatically increases key combinations
and enables Medeco to produce some of the largest master
key systems in the industry.
- Hardened steel inserts, positioned in critical areas
of the cylinder, provide a high degree of drill resistance.
- Solid brass construction provides high quality and long
cylinder life.
- 8 different finishes provide an extremely close color
match with existing hardware.
- UL-437 listing provides assurance that cylinders meet
universal standards for drill and pick resistance and
resistance against other types of forced attack.
- Set screw pin chamber caps allow quick and easy pinning
and re-keying without the need to take the cylinder apart.
- 2 year warranty offers assurance of product quality
and factory support in the rare event there is a problem.
